What are the Scan to network folder ports?

Hi,

I have a HP scanner and use to scan to network folder (My file server). What are the usual ports for that?

Most scanners are using SMB or port 9100 like printers do but you need to check with your manufacturer manual.
Port 9100 is for sending printouts to printer.

If HP Scanner uses SMB for Scan to Network Folder, you should open incoming port TCP 445 in the firewall of the computer hosting the network folder.

both previous experts are right on, i'd say that if you're scanning from the same LAN it would not worry about network ports but rather making sure the folder permissions for the account to be used.
